Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel River Meander Migration and Cutoff Model: A New PerspectiveYoussef Ismail HafezAccurate prediction of river meander migration is crucial for effective river management and operation, particularly in light of climate changes and human-induced interventions. Existing models often rely on single-equation approaches, such as bank erosion rate versus excess bank velocity or excess bank shear stress, which limit their ability to comprehensively capture the complex dynamics of meander evolution.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipose-Derived Canine Mesenchymal Stem Cells in PLAY® MediaArjun Kulkarni, Bhavana N. V., Teena Mary Thomas et al.In veterinary medicine, stem cell-based therapies present promise for addressing orthopedic and degenerative conditions in canines. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) possess unique regenerative, immunomodulatory, and differentiation capabilities. However, their efficacy relies on optimal in-vitro conditions. Prolonged expansion over passages leads to a gradual loss of stem cell traits, highlighting the importance of optimized culture conditions and media supplements. This study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2024 · 5,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity and Apoptosis Prevailed by Tricyclohexyltin(IV) Dithiocarbamate Compounds Against Human Lung Carcinoma Cell Line (A549)Normah Awang, Nurul Amalina Abd Aziz, Nur Fatini Nordin, Nurul Farahana KamaludinIn Malaysia, lung cancer is a highly common kind of cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This study examined the cytotoxicity of two new tricyclohexyltin(IV) dithiocarbamate compounds compounds, which are tricyclohexyltin(IV) N-methyl-N-benzyldithiocarbamate (C1) and tricyclohexyltin(IV) N-ethyl-N-benzyldithiocarbamate (C2), on lung carcinoma cell lines (A549) of humans. The cytotoxicity was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell death mode … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2024 · 4,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStress Resistance Physiological Traits in Maize Under High-Concentration Salt StressMingxia WangTo quantitatively analyze the stress-resistant physiological characteristics of maize under high-concentration salt stress, a combination of statistical analysis and quantitative recursive analysis is selected to conduct salt stress experiments on maize seedlings. 20 treatments are set up, with each treatment consisting of 5 pots and 3 plants per pot. The experiment is conducted without the involvement of any animals. Physiological … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2024 · 4,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptoelectronic Characterisation of Silicon and CIGS Photovoltaic Solar CellsRicardo A. Marques Lameirinhas, Afonso Ravasco, Catarina Pinho Correia Valério Bernardo, João Paulo N. TorresThroughout these years, many materials have been subjected to tests and experiments, creating several photovoltaic technologies and generations. In this article, some of these generations are compared, namely silicon and Copper Indium Gallium di-Selenide (CIGS), in order to characterize both materials in an optoelectronic way. Using a 2D solar cell PIN model using COMSOL software, both materials are tested, obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2024 · 4,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexible Stem Trabecular ProsthesesRaffaella Aversa, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaThe complex biomechanics and morphology of the femur proximal epiphysis are presented. This specific region in human femur is characterized by a high flexibility compared to that of other primates, since evolved lighter and longer due to the human verticalposition and more balanced loading. The nature and fine morphology of the femur head and its structural behavior have been investigated. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,860 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPorosity Analysis in Porous Brass Using Dual ApproachesRyan Yeargin, Rob Ramey, Cindy WatersThe goal of this research is to produce porous samples for various applications such as heat exchangers, filters and radiation shields. The level of porosity is an important objective yet the level of confidence in two main methods (hand calculations and microscopic analysis) is not high. This work will compare porosity values obtained from traditional hand calculations against analysis from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,529 accessesView PDFCite
